MUSIC AND BANDS
I love my music, too. Listening to music while I work is a great source of inspiration. I'm also keen on live bands: There's always been a great local music scene where I live and I know a lot of  songwriters and musicians.


I'm usually to be found at my local goth club (Not that I'm a goth, but I like the music and the people)

The Adenoids   A bunch of drink-addled punx!!

S.W.A.N.K.   Punchy and very witty, contagious electro-punk

Screaming Banshee Aircrew  Lovely goths from around Oxford

Sterile Prophet  Loud, LOUD thrash metal!

UK Decay  The first and original band to be hailed as "Gothic" punk, recently resurrected for an excellent comeback tour
